Inland vessels and direct ships in rivers and seas should use diesel fuel that meets the standards.
Ships equipped with shore power receiving facilities shall use shore power during the docking of docks with shore power facilities.
Approved by the maritime administration, the ship may adopt alternative measures such as clean energy and exhaust gas after-treatment technology to meet emission control requirements. And desulfurization equipment can be used to meet reasonable requirements.
In addition, Shanghai Maritime Safety Administration noticed that if the use of the low-sulfur fuel required by this notice poses a danger to the safety of the ship or that it cannot effectively obtain the low-sulfur fuel that meets the requirements, the ship may Exempt or waive from the maritime administration.
